Inspired by: I am inspired by nature's approach to structural efficiency — how bone tissue and tree branches carry maximum load with minimum material, which mirrors exactly what topology optimization achieves mathematically. Watching Formula 1 and aerospace engineers push material boundaries motivates me to apply similar thinking to everyday automotive components. Knowing that every kilogram removed from a vehicle contributes to lower emissions and better fuel economy gives my design work a purpose beyond the technical challenge itself.
